CynergisTek strengthens its service portfolio by partnering with
GroupSense to provide enhanced and proactive cyber reconnaissance
services and incident response services
CynergisTek (NYSE American: CTEK), leading cybersecurity,
privacy, compliance, and IT audit firm helping organizations in
highly regulated industries navigate emerging security and privacy
issues, announces a new agreement with GroupSense to provide
organizations with vital threat intelligence to identify and
mitigate attacker activity. This partnership offers CynergisTek’s
customer base ransomware negotiation services and provides
increased capabilities around incident response (IR) training and
tabletop exercises.
“In order for healthcare organizations to more successfully
anticipate where cyber attackers are likely to be present, they
need a clearer picture of their risk and a better understanding of
their environment,” said Mac McMillan, President & CEO of
CynergisTek. “Incorporating GroupSense’s capabilities into our Risk
and Incident Response services enables us to assist our clients in
performing better reconnaissance, thereby enhancing their
resilience. Just as important as being able to anticipate the
threat, so is being able to execute more precisely when adverse
situations arise. Incorporating ransomware negotiation and deeper
awareness into client IR immersive exercises and incident response
further enhances the value of our support to our clients,” he
says.
“I am excited about the launch of our partnership with
CynergisTek,” said Kurtis Minder, founder and CEO of GroupSense.
“Given the increased attack surface, especially in the healthcare
industry, organizations need solutions, not an increase in alerts
or data feeds. The combined digital risk and attack surface
capability of GroupSense, with the solution expertise of
CynergisTek, solves IT risk problems while reducing operational
overhead.”
This partnership marks CynergisTek’s focus on building cyber
resiliency by helping businesses become proactive against threats
and develop effective incident response procedures. CynergisTek and
GroupSense are providing customers with threat intelligence
capabilities that allow for healthcare specific insight on where
organizations should prioritize remediation efforts based on their
specific risk profile. CynergisTek clients will have access to
additional threat monitoring and foot printing capabilities that
help expose unknown gaps that organizations may have with the use
of GroupSense’s cyber reconnaissance platform and team of highly
trained analysts.
